Not all masterpieces are born from peace; some are forged in pain.
Throughout history, many
renowned composers created their most brilliant works while living in poverty,
relying on patronage, or struggling financially for most of their lives.
Take Franz Schubert (1797–1828),
for example. He laboured in obscurity, often depending on friends for food and
shelter. Despite producing over 1,500 works, he was rarely paid fairly and died
at just 31.
Today, people get carried away
with ideas like "good atmosphere," "peace of mind," and
"harmonious surroundings" as necessities for creativity. But history
tells a different story. It is struggle, suppression, crisis, and even ridicule
that have pushed ordinary people to become extraordinary.
Yes, there are those with better
security, lifestyle, and access to information—yet they feel no burning desire
to create. Not everyone is naturally creative, but trying to be creative is
never a crime.
If you live a cozy life and feel even a small spark of creativity, fan
it. Increase your desire. Try something. Fail. Fall. Get ridiculed. But never
stop your journey. Like travellers who learn more from the journey than the
destination, you will grow into a greater learner. And that learning will shape
your thoughts, paving the way for your own future masterpiece.
If you are struggling in life and blame your hardship for a lack of
creativity, go back and read the first two paragraphs again. You already have
your answer. A masterpiece is waiting to be born from your pain.
Every human being is a
masterpiece. It is desire, action, and grit that bring the masterpiece out of
the masterpiece.
